Goodreads asked Tom Williams:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Tom Williams I set my manuscript aside, then live my life outside of writing - shop, maintain my house and yard, watch movies and television, travel, play video games, go out to dinner with friends, read books, etc. For me, those activities often generate an idea to incorporate into my work or bring to light a thought on how to proceed. Sometimes, it takes less than a day. At other times, it may take a month before the "aha" moment gets me back to my book.
